PANAJI: The Directorate of Enforcement (ED), Panaji Zonal Office, has taken possession of 24 immovable properties across Bardez taluka under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002.
The action follows a Provisional Attachment Order dated April 25, 2025, which was subsequently confirmed by the Adjudicating Authority under the Act.
According to the ED, the attached properties are located in Assagao, Calangute, Parra, Nerul, Anjuna and Mapusa, and include sizeable land parcels. All concerned persons have been restrained from transferring, selling, gifting, mortgaging or creating any third-party rights over the said properties.
